Waumma Governor yool:  yahi Perth yongar bak-ad-jee yu-a-do; gwab-ba-litch.

MIAGO’S SPEECH AS GOVERNOR.

Henceforth this people of Perth must not fight.  Moon-dee, Moon-dee, you are always quarrelling.  Mir-ga-na, Mir-ga-na, you are always quarrelling.  Yal-gon-ga, Yal-gon-ga, you are quarrelsome—­what is the reason of this?

Bucklebury speared Wattup, what reason had he to be in such a passion (or, why was he so very angry)?

Bun-bury, you are very quarrelsome.

The young men behave very well, the old ones are always wrangling.

The young men paint themselves, and the women look at them; the young men are not aware of this, but the old men are very jealous—­and being in a passion spear the young men—­this is very wrong.

Now another Governor is come, and you people of Perth must fight no more. 
This is very good.

Onwards through a forest, onwards through a forest, onwards through a forest.  We slept at Neergammy, a pleasant resting-place; the land was good, the herbage good; pleasant was our resting-place, and our hut was good.

4th day.

Onwards, onwards, onwards, we entered a woody country.  Onwards, through a forest, onwards through a forest; we now see the waters of Kajeelup:  we eat flesh and bread.  Onwards through the forest, onwards through the forest, onwards through the forest.  We see the tracks of natives; we shout aloud, and then proceed conversing with natives; they sit down.*

(Footnote.  They halt or remain.)

Onwards go we, onwards, onwards, onwards; the horses drink water; by-and-bye we see tracks.  Onwards, onwards, onwards; we see a large water; we shoot ducks.  On the one side we see two waters, on the other side one water we see.  Onwards, onwards, onwards, onwards, onwards; we see no other water.  Onwards through the forest, onwards through the forest, onwards through the forest; we see a river.  You had here eaten freshwater mussels:  at this river we sleep.  Barramba is the place’s name.

Onwards through the forest, through the forest, through the forest, through the forest onwards; water we see not.  Through the forest onwards; through the forest onwards; we see a water, but a worthless water.  Yours and Kaiber’s footsteps we see.  Here there is no grass.  You had here shot a bird—­a cockatoo you shot.  Maribara was this place’s name.
